Introduction to ps-locale-ar_EG-14.0.1.1001-1.cop.sha512

The ​​ps-locale-ar_EG-14.0.1.1001-1.cop.sha512​​ is an official Arabic (Egypt) localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) systems, delivering full right-to-left (RTL) script support compliant with Unicode 15.1 specifications. Released under Cisco’s Global Language Framework in Q4 2024, this COP file implements modern Arabic typography rules for enterprise collaboration environments while maintaining SHA-512 cryptographic integrity verification.

Designed for CUCM 14.0.1+ clusters, the package enables native Arabic operations across Cisco IP Phone 8865/8861 endpoints, Webex Room Kit Pro Series, and Emergency Responder systems. The .cop.sha512 extension guarantees FIPS 140-3 Level 2 compliance, aligning with Cisco’s Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) v4.4 standards for tamper-proof software distribution.
